“people like a little thrill, but generally there’s not much to a roller coaster ride, though there could be i guess”

These people saying it’s just the experience and crap are all IDIOTS.

Let’s use a good quote to make my point (the quote is about Avatar):

“so people say to me that Avatar wasn’t supposed to be about the plot. It was about feeling the experience of being on Pandora. Oh, is that what all this 3D shit is going to turn movies into? Like theme park rides? Like I probably wouldn’t bitch about the plot to ‘The Star Trek Experience’, or ‘Jurassic Park: The ride’, ’cause it’s like, a ride. Like, you know, Pirates of the Caribbean! Shit, that’s been in 3D for for 40 years!”

Ok, that was a long quote, but here’s the point:

It’s a movie. When it comes to movies, of all types, you have a RIGHT to complain about plot elements in the film, because movies are PLOT DRIVEN. If the plot is simple, the complaints won’t be that many, but if the plot is supposed to be complex like TDK is, then a LOT of room for problems will ultimately lead to a justified list of complaints.

TDK IS NOT A THEME PARK RIDE. DON’T PRETEND LIKE IT IS. It isn’t “just a movie”.

You can like it or dislike it, in fact, I liked it. But the facts remain: There are FLAWS in the movie, so don’t dispel any argument brought up simply because “it’s supposed to be entertainment.”

how to be omnipotent? well if this movie teaches us something aside from the stupid and pretentious hollywood philosophy is that being skinny, crazi, having scars and use make up makes a person a demigod.

Here are my responses in order:

1. I recall he stole over 50 million dollars from a bank at the beginning.

2. He could pay people to move them in in disguise, using the money he stole.

3. People are crazy, and once again, 50 MILLION DOLLARS.

4. *Sigh* 50 million dollars.

5. He thinks things through, unlike you and your questions.

To the webmaster of this site: I think you make a good point. I hadn’t thought about the realism that Nolan wanted to bring to the franchise until I was watching TDK on DVD ilast month. When I first saw TDK, I was wowed by it. Months later…I don’t know what happened. I suppose it was the seriousness of everything going on now. The election, the economy, the stock market. I just saw the movie differently. My thing was this: early in the film it was said that the Joker had ripped off five of the Mob’s banks. My thought was the Mob would have been on alert at their other banks after the first was robbed. That would mean, once the Mob saw a bunch of guys trying to rob their banks the mobsters would have been ready to kill them. So I agree that Nolan lost focus or something. I thought Batman Begins had a more plausible storyline but TDK’s falls apart immediately at the opening sequence.

The recent attack on Mumbai (India) is a prime example of how a well-planned and well-executed multi-stage terrorist operation can bring a city to its knees.

An apparently well-guarded city is persistently shaken by the many parts of a single, multi-part act of terror and brought to a grinding standstill (curfew was declared in the affected parts of the city and schools, colleges and most offices were shut) – just like in Gotham. And despite the presence of Federal personnel in both cases, the terrorist(s) continued with further violent acts.

Hell, the Joke had it far easier as he had immense indigenous support from the mafia men and the insane specimens who he seemed to attract (he certainly wasn’t doing this alone, as some seem to be thinking) to set up and carry out the terror pieces he planned. This goes against all those who claim that it is impossible to hold a modern city to ransom.

My heart goes out to all the victims of Mumbai’s attacks and roger’s rants.

first off, regarding previous posts about the ability of crazy people being able to function well enough to wire explosives, that just isn’t true. i am both a legal genius and certifiably insane. thankfully, i am in control of my mind for most of the time. and i can certainly function on a day-to-day basis. this proves that it is at least possible, though not entirely probablr, for the Joker’s henchmen to have rigged everything up properly to successfully blow up the hospital.

on a more general note, and as a message to tdksucks, what your hoping to accomplish, correct me if i am wrong, but you are trying to get EVERYONE to admit that The Dark Knight was NOT a masterpiece that some people are painting it. this goal is just implausible. i doubt that there has been a single person, event, or thing, in the history of mankind that EVERYONE has had the same stance on (again, if you have an example, let me know). furthermore, as a message to everyone leaving messages here, if you are trying to convince someone else on this thread regarding something, just scroll down the entire page. you should see everybody, whether for or against The Dark Knight, either attempting to persuade someone else to their point of view, or stubbornly refusing to listen to the other sides points, whether reasoned or not. there really is no reason to ridicule others, no matter what side they are on, for their beliefs.

final point— as i just mentioned, we really shouldnt be getting angry with others for their beliefs or thoughts. so if you really feel so strongly against what i am saying, try to keep it to yoruself. it isn’t getting anybody anywhere if we continuously bash each others views and opinions.

So in conclusion, I, Jimmboy have somehow figured out the one real and true opinion about TDK. Just how did I come to this impressive insight without being biased by my own personal opinions and points of view? Because I say so. By just saying like so many others only I know what is right and anybody that disagrees is wrong. Thank you.
